lín xuān yuán běn zhǐ shì yǒu xiē hào qí ， suí kǒu wèn shàng yī jù 。
林轩原本只是有些好奇，随口问上一句。
Lin Xuan was originally just curious and casually asked. However, the response from the other party was more than unexpected, even his composure couldn't help but turn pale.
rán ér duì fāng de huí dá què tài chū rén yì biǎo le xiē ， jí biàn yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， yě bó rán biàn sè 。
然而对方的回答却太出人意表了些，即便以他的城府，也勃然变色。
This change in expression naturally fell into the eyes of the two Spirit Clan members.
ér zhè fān biǎo qíng de biàn huà ， zì rán luò zài le líng zú èr rén de yǎn lǐ 。
而这番表情的变化，自然落在了灵族二人的眼里。
"Is something wrong? Could this Five Dragon Seal have any connection with you?" The surprised voice of the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden entered his ears. Even though she guessed it, she still found it hard to believe.
“ zěn me ， mò fēi zhè wǔ lóng xǐ ， yǔ dào yǒu yǒu guān xì ？” líng zú shèng nǚ jīng yà de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， jǐn guǎn zhè ge chuǎi mó ， lián tā zì jǐ ， dōu jué de yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì 。
“怎么，莫非这五龙玺，与道友有关系？”灵族圣女惊讶的声音传入耳朵里，尽管这个揣摩，连她自己，都觉得有些不可思议。
"I jest, how could I possibly have seen the Five Dragon Seal? I've only heard some legends about this treasure," Lin Xuan's dry laugh echoed in her ears, and his expression was flawless now.
“ dào yǒu shuō xiào le ， lín mǒu zěn me kě néng jiàn guò wǔ lóng xǐ ， zhǐ shì tīng guò yǔ cǐ bǎo yǒu guān de yī xiē chuán shuō ér yǐ 。” lín xuān gān xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， biǎo qíng yǐ shì fēn háo pò zhàn yě wú 。
“道友说笑了，林某怎么可能见过五龙玺，只是听过与此宝有关的一些传说而已。”林轩干笑的声音传入耳朵，表情已是分毫破绽也无。
"Legends related to this?"
“ yǔ cǐ yǒu guān de chuán shuō ？”
“与此有关的传说？”
"Yes, when the Five Dragons appeared, blood flowed like rivers. Innumerable years ago, this treasure caused countless bloodshed in the Spirit Realm. Later on, no one knew where it disappeared," Lin Xuan said dryly.
“ bù cuò ， wǔ lóng yī chū ， xuè liú piāo chǔ ， shù bǎi wàn nián qián ， cǐ bǎo céng zài líng jiè xiān qǐ xīng fēng xuè yǔ wú shù ， zhǐ shì hòu lái ， bù zhī dào yòu shī luò dào le hé chù 。” lín xuān gān bā bā de shuō 。
“不错，五龙一出，血流漂杵，数百万年前，此宝曾在灵界掀起腥风血雨无数，只是后来，不知道又失落到了何处。”林轩干巴巴的说。
He had already reached the Transcendence stage as a cultivator and naturally came into contact with many ancient secrets. Besides clues related to Mo'er, the Blue Star Sea and the Five Dragon Seal were also his focus of inquiry.
tā rú jīn yǐ shì dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， zì rán néng gòu jiē chù dào bù shǎo shàng gǔ yǐn mì le ， chú le yǔ yuè ér yǒu guān de xiàn suǒ ， lán sè xīng hǎi yǔ wǔ lóng xǐ yě shì tā dǎ tàn de zhòng diǎn lái zhe 。
他如今已是渡劫级别的修仙者，自然能够接触到不少上古隐秘了，除了与月儿有关的线索，蓝色星海与五龙玺也是他打探的重点来着。
Hard work pays off; indeed, Lin Xuan managed to gather some useful information, such as the Five Dragon Seal.
gōng fu bù fù yǒu xīn rén ， hái zhēn bèi lín xuān zhǎng wò dào le yī xiē xiàn suǒ 。
功夫不负有心人，还真被林轩掌握到了一些线索。
Legend had it that this was something passed down from the Immortal Realm, far surpassingprimordial spirit treasure. Regardless of its origin, it caused countless bloodshed in the Spirit Realm millions of years ago.
bǐ rú shuō wǔ lóng xǐ 。
比如说五龙玺。
It could be said to have brought suffering upon all living beings because so many cultivators perished due to this treasure, including nearly a hundred at the Transcendence stage.
chuán shuō nà shì xiān jiè liú chuán xià lái de dōng xī ， gèng shèng xiān tiān líng bǎo xǔ duō ， lái lì qiě bù tí ， shù bǎi wàn nián qián zài líng jiè kě yǐn qǐ guò wú shù de xīng fēng xuè yǔ 。
传说那是仙界流传下来的东西，更胜先天灵宝许多，来历且不提，数百万年前在灵界可引起过无数的腥风血雨。
Though he didn't know the exact details, Lin Xuan knew that the Five Dragon Seal was no trivial matter. It was something that even Loose Immortals and Demon Kings coveted, so he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.
shuō shēng líng tú tàn yě méi yǒu cuò ， yīn wèi cǐ bǎo yǔn luò de xiū shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， lián dù jié jí bié de dōu yǒu jìn bǎi zhī duō 。
说生灵涂炭也没有错，因为此宝陨落的修士数不胜数，连渡劫级别的都有近百之多。
He well understood the saying: "A man with a precious gem is in danger."
jù tǐ de qíng xíng suī rán bù qīng chǔ ， dàn lín xuān yě zhī dào wǔ lóng xǐ fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， nǎi shì sàn xiān yāo wáng 。 zhēn mó shǐ zǔ dōu yào diàn jì de bǎo wù ， suǒ yǐ bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ 。 lín xuān yě bú huì qīng yì shǐ yòng cǐ wù 。
具体的情形虽然不清楚，但林轩也知道五龙玺非同小可，乃是散仙妖王。真魔始祖都要惦记的宝物，所以不到万不得已。林轩也不会轻易使用此物。
Although his strength wasn't insignificant, he still hadn't reached the point where he could walk freely across the Three Realms.
pǐ fū wú zuì huái bì qí zuì de dào lǐ ， tā kě shì shēn zhī de 。
匹夫无罪怀璧其罪的道理，他可是深知的。
Originally, he thought the Five Dragon Seal was an Immortal Realm treasure. He didn't expect it to be a rumor after all.
rú jīn de zì jǐ ， suī rán shí lì bù sú ， dàn yuǎn méi yǒu dào ， néng gòu zài sān jiè héng zhe zǒu de dì bù 。
如今的自己，虽然实力不俗，但远没有到，能够在三界横着走的地步。
As they say, when you least expect something, it comes unexpectedly. Lin Xuan never expected that fate would lead him to get such useful information from the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden.
yuán běn yì zhí yǐ wéi wǔ lóng xǐ shì xiān jiè zhī wù ， méi xiǎng dào ， què shì chuán yán yǒu wù 。
原本一直以为五龙玺是仙界之物，没想到，却是传言有误。
The Five Dragon Seal is indeed a true spirit relic and originates from here.
sú huà shuō tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu 。 lín xuān méi xiǎng dào ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， huì cóng líng zú shèng nǚ zhè lǐ ， dé dào rú cǐ yǒu yòng de xiàn suǒ 。
俗话说踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫。林轩没想到，机缘巧合，会从灵族圣女这里，得到如此有用的线索。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan made up his mind to accompany this woman for one day. Although he was taking on significant risks, who knew what unexpected rewards might come from it?
wǔ lóng xǐ jìng shì zhēn líng shèng wù ， chū zì yú cǐ chù 。
五龙玺竟是真灵圣物，出自于此处。
Though he had already decided internally, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't agree so easily on the surface.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ zuò xià jué dìng le ， péi cǐ nǚ zǒu shàng yī zhāo 。 suī rán mào de fēng xiǎn bù xiǎo ， dàn ān zhī ， bú huì yǒu chū rén yì liào de shōu huò 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩心中已做下决定了，陪此女走上一朝。虽然冒的风险不小，但安知，不会有出人意料的收获。
He deliberately showed hesitation, making the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden uneasy. If she refused, their situation with the Spirit Clan would be less favorable.
xīn zhōng zuò chū le jué zé ， dàn biǎo miàn shàng ， lín xuān dāng rán bú huì qīng yì dā yìng cǐ shì de 。
心中做出了抉择，但表面上，林轩当然不会轻易答应此事的。
Although she wasn't without reservations, in the cultivation world, strength spoke louder than words.
liǎn shàng fǎn ér gù yì lù chū chóu chú ， kàn dé líng zú shèng nǚ xīn zhōng tǎn tè 。 duì fāng ruò shì jù jué mào xiǎn ， zì jǐ yǔ líng zú de chǔ jìng ， kě jiù yǒu xiē bù lì le 。
脸上反而故意露出踌躇，看得灵族圣女心中忐忑。对方若是拒绝冒险，自己与灵族的处境，可就有些不利了。
Fortunately, even though Lin Xuan was hesitant, he didn't show any signs of refusal. His attitude was ambiguous, and the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden quickly promised many benefits. As they say, where there's a will, there's a way; after paying a sum that would make even Transcendence cultivators envious, Lin Xuan finally agreed to accompany her on this risky journey.
suī rán duì fāng yě bìng fēi yì diǎn gù jì yě wú ， dàn xiū xiān jiè bì jìng shì yǐ shí lì shuō huà de 。
虽然对方也并非一点顾忌也无，但修仙界毕竟是以实力说话的。
The Spirit Clan Saint Maiden was overjoyed and became even more attentive. Since it was late, the best time had passed for departure, so she summoned a servant to escort Lin Xuan and Mo'er to the guest hall for rest, planning to leave early the next day.
hǎo zài lín xuān lín xuān suī rán chóu chú ， dàn yě bìng wèi lù chū jù jué zhī yì 。 tài dù mó léng liǎng kě ， líng zú shèng nǚ lián máng xǔ nuò xià bù shǎo hǎo chù 。 sú huà shuō ， zhòng shǎng zhī xià bì yǒu yǒng fū ， zài fù chū le yī bǐ ràng dù jié qī cún zài yě huì dà gǎn yǎn hóng de cái huò zhī hòu ， lín xuān zhōng yú sōng kǒu tóng yì yǔ tā yì qǐ qián qù mào xiǎn le 。
好在林轩林轩虽然踌躇，但也并未露出拒绝之意。态度模棱两可，灵族圣女连忙许诺下不少好处。俗话说，重赏之下必有勇夫，在付出了一笔让渡劫期存在也会大感眼红的财货之后，林轩终于松口同意与她一起前去冒险了。
...
líng zú shèng nǚ dà xǐ ， tài dù yuè fā de yīn qín yǐ jí ， rú jīn tiān sè yǐ wǎn ， dòng shēn yǐ cuò guò le zuì hǎo de shí jiān ， yú shì biàn shì huàn guò shì nǚ ， ràng qí sòng lín xuān yǔ yuè ér qián wǎng guì bīn lóu ， xiū xī yī wǎn ， míng tiān zài zǒu 。
灵族圣女大喜，态度越发的殷勤以极，如今天色已晚，动身已错过了最好的时间，于是便是唤过侍女，让其送林轩与月儿前往贵宾楼，休息一晚，明天再走。
Watching Lin Xuan and Mo'er depart, the Spirit Clan Patriarch, who had remained silent until now, flicked his sleeves. A faint blue light screen appeared.
……
……
It was obvious that it had soundproofing capabilities.
wàng zhe lín xuān yǔ yuè ér yuǎn qù ， yì zhí chén mò bù yǔ de líng zú lǎo zǔ xiù páo yī fú ， yī céng dàn lán sè de guāng mù fú xiàn ér chū 。
望着林轩与月儿远去，一直沉默不语的灵族老祖袖袍一拂，一层淡蓝色的光幕浮现而出。
"Ring, are you truly confident about this journey? You should know what lies in the True Spirit Tomb," the Spirit Clan Patriarch sighed, his voice filled with concern.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì jù yǒu gé yīn de xiào guǒ 。
不用说，自然是具有隔音的效果。
"I naturally know, but where else can we turn to? Taking a chance might still give us a way out. If we're as timid as mice, Ring and the Spirit Clan will truly be in grave danger," the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden said helplessly.
“ huán ér ， cǐ xíng nǐ zhēn yǒu bǎ wò ， nǐ yīng gāi zhī dào ， nà zhēn líng mù dì zhōng yǒu shén me 。” líng zú lǎo zǔ tàn le kǒu qì ， shēng yīn zhōng dài zhe guān qiè zhī yì 。
“环儿，此行你真有把握，你应该知道，那真灵墓地中有什么。”灵族老祖叹了口气，声音中带着关切之意。
The old man fell silent for a long time before frowning and whispering something.
“ wǒ zì rán xiǎo de ， kě chú cǐ yǐ wài ， nǎ lǐ hái yǒu shén me hǎo de xuǎn zé ， mào xiǎn yī bó ， huò xǔ hái yǒu shēng lù ， ruò dǎn xiǎo rú shǔ ， huán ér yǔ líng zú cái zhēn shì dà huò lín tóu le 。” líng zú shèng nǚ yǒu diǎn wú nài de shuō 。
“我自然晓得，可除此以外，哪里还有什么好的选择，冒险一搏，或许还有生路，若胆小如鼠，环儿与灵族才真是大祸临头了。”灵族圣女有点无奈的说。
After about a cup of tea's worth of time, the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden's face showed both surprise and joy. "Uncle, you're serious? There really is..."
lǎo zhě xiàn rù le chén mò 。
老者陷入了沉默。
"This matter is indeed true; I wouldn't make such idle talk. However, while this might help us avoid danger, the risks you take are significant. If things go wrong, it could be a disaster. So, even though I've told you about this, how to proceed still depends on your own judgment. Don't act impulsively," the Spirit Clan Patriarch said with a serious expression.
liáng jiǔ ， cái méi tou yí zhòu ， zuǐ chún wēi dòng ， jìng chuán yīn qǐ lái le 。
良久，才眉头一皱，嘴唇微动，竟传音起来了。
"Thank Uncle; Ring understands."
guò le yuē yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， líng zú shèng nǚ liǎn shàng lù chū yòu jīng yòu xǐ zhī sè ：“ yì fù ， nín shuō zhēn de ， nà zhēn líng mù dì zhōng zhēn yǒu ……”
过了约一盏茶的功夫，灵族圣女脸上露出又惊又喜之色：“义父，您说真的，那真灵墓地中真有……”
...
“ cǐ shì zì rán shì zhēn de ， lǎo fū qǐ huì hú yán luàn yǔ ， dàn zhè me zuò ， suī yǒu kě néng bǎi tuō wēi jī ， dàn nǐ zì jǐ mào de fēng xiǎn ， yě shì bù xiǎo dì ， yí gè bù hǎo ， jiù shì wàn jié bù fù de jié jú ， suǒ yǐ lǎo fū suī rán jiāng cǐ shì gào sù yú nǐ ， dàn jiū jìng gāi rú hé zuò ， hái yào nǐ zì jǐ hǎo hǎo zhēn zhuó ， qiè bù kě yì qì yòng shì ……” líng zú lǎo zǔ biǎo qíng níng zhòng de shuō 。
“此事自然是真的，老夫岂会胡言乱语，但这么做，虽有可能摆脱危机，但你自己冒的风险，也是不小地，一个不好，就是万劫不复的结局，所以老夫虽然将此事告诉于你，但究竟该如何做，还要你自己好好斟酌，切不可意气用事……”灵族老祖表情凝重的说。
As for Lin Xuan, he and Mo'er had arrived at the guest hall.
“ duō xiè yì fù ， huán ér zì rán qīng chǔ 。”
“多谢义父，环儿自然清楚。”
Though the Spirit Clan rarely received guests, this guest hall was built exceptionally well, with a tranquil and ancient atmosphere.
……
……
Upon entering the guest hall, Lin Xuan didn't waste any time, flicking his sleeves to summon an array of flags. As they say, one shouldn't have thoughts of harming others but must always be wary.
zài shuō lín xuān ， cǐ shí yǔ yuè ér ， yì lái dào le guì bīn lóu lǐ miàn 。
再说林轩，此时与月儿，亦来到了贵宾楼里面。
They were in a den of tigers and dragons; even though he was bold, Lin Xuan wouldn't be reckless. He couldn't afford to ignore caution!
líng zú shǎo yǒu fǎng kè ， rán ér zhè guì bīn lóu què xiū jiàn dé jí wéi bù sú ， huán jìng qīng yōu ， huì sè gǔ piáo ， yī gǔ gǔ sè gǔ xiāng de yùn wèi ér fú xiàn ér chū 。
灵族少有访客，然而这贵宾楼却修建得极为不俗，环境清幽，晦涩古朴，一股古色古香的韵味儿浮现而出。
"Master, why did you agree so easily? The True Spirit Tomb is where even the Flying Heavenly Demon Lord perished. Our journey there is too dangerous," Mo'er's opinion never deviated from Lin Xuan's when in public, but that didn't mean she had no thoughts of her own.
jìn le guì bīn lóu ， lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， xiù páo yī fú ， biàn jiāng yī tào zhèn qí jì chū ， sú huà shuō ， hài rén zhī xīn bù kě yǒu ， fáng rén zhī xīn bù kě wú 。
进了贵宾楼，林轩二话不说，袖袍一拂，便将一套阵旗祭出，俗话说，害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无。
Mo'er was different now; she had recovered some memories from her past life. However, her love for Lin Xuan was so deep that she never let it affect how she presented herself to others.
rú jīn kě shì shēn zài lóng tán hǔ xué zhī zhōng ， lín xuān suī rán yì gāo rén dǎn dà ， dàn yě jué bú huì máng mù zì dà ， gāi yǒu de xiǎo xīn nà shì bàn diǎn yě bù néng shǎo a ！
如今可是身在龙潭虎穴之中，林轩虽然艺高人胆大，但也绝不会盲目自大，该有的小心那是半点也不能少啊！
Now that they were alone, Mo'er naturally wanted to give a friendly reminder.
“ shào yé ， nǐ zěn me rú cǐ qīng yì jiù dā yìng le ， nà zhēn líng mù dì ， lián fēi tiān mó zhǔ dōu zàng shēn yú nà lǐ ， wǒ men cǐ qù ， yě tài wēi xiǎn le xiē ， wú yì yú yǔ hǔ móu pí 。” zài wài rén miàn qián ， yuè ér de yì jiàn ， cóng bù yǔ lín xuān xiàng zuǒ ， dàn zhè bìng bù yì wèi zhe ， tā jiù méi yǒu zì jǐ de kàn fǎ le 。
“少爷，你怎么如此轻易就答应了，那真灵墓地，连飞天魔主都葬身于那里，我们此去，也太危险了些，无异于与虎谋皮。”在外人面前，月儿的意见，从不与林轩向左，但这并不意味着，她就没有自己的看法了。
"What if we disagree? If we force the issue, the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden might resort to self-destruction; I can't take such risks," Lin Xuan sighed.
bì jìng yuè ér yǐ jīn fēi xī bǐ ， huī fù le qián shì de bù fèn jì yì ， zhǐ bù guò tā ài lín xuān yǐ jí ， suǒ yǐ zài wài rén miàn qián ， cóng bù huì xuē zhàng fū miàn zi dì 。
毕竟月儿已今非昔比，恢复了前世的部分记忆，只不过她爱林轩以极，所以在外人面前，从不会削丈夫面子地。
"While you're right, agreeing so quickly is still too hasty," Mo'er knew that Lin Xuan was doing this for her. However, she felt something wasn't quite right about his decision. She didn't know the reason but understood that at their current strength, one mustn't ignore any omens in their heart.
cǐ shí zhǐ yǒu fū qī èr rén ， zì rán yào hǎo yì tí xǐng 。
此时只有夫妻二人，自然要好意提醒。
"Stupid girl, I understand how dangerous this journey is. But we have no other choices; besides, I can't let go of the secrets of the Five Dragon Seal. If there's an opportunity, we need to find out," Lin Xuan nodded.
“ bù tóng yì yòu rú hé ， ruò wǒ men zhēn kǔ kǔ xiàng bī ， nà líng zú shèng nǚ shuō bù dìng huì wán zì bào de bǎ xì ， wǒ bù dé bù tóu shǔ jì qì ……” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì 。
“不同意又如何，若我们真苦苦相逼，那灵族圣女说不定会玩自爆的把戏，我不得不投鼠忌器……”林轩叹了口气。
"The secrets of the Five Dragon Seal..."
“ huà shì rú cǐ ， dàn jiù zhè yàng dā yìng ， hái shì tài cǎo shuài le yī xiē 。” yuè ér dāng rán zhī dào lín xuān shì wèi le zì jǐ ， dàn bù zhī wèi hé ， tā zǒng jué de ， shào yé zuò cǐ jué zé ， yǒu xiē bù tuǒ ， yuán yīn shì shén me ， tā yě bù qīng chǔ ， dàn shí lì dào le zhè ge děng jí ， duì yú xīn tóu líng zhào ， kěn dìng bù gǎn qīng hū 。
“话是如此，但就这样答应，还是太草率了一些。”月儿当然知道林轩是为了自己，但不知为何，她总觉得，少爷做此抉择，有些不妥，原因是什么，她也不清楚，但实力到了这个等级，对于心头灵兆，肯定不敢轻忽。
"Yes." Lin Xuan nodded: "Mo'er, do you remember the description of the Hundred Spirit Seal in that ancient text?"
“ shǎ yā tou ， wǒ hé cháng bù qīng chǔ ， cǐ xíng de wēi xiǎn fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn yī lái ， wǒ men méi yǒu bié de xuǎn zé ， èr lái ， wǔ lóng xǐ de mì mì wǒ yě jué bù kě yǐ fàng guò ， jì yǒu jī huì ， kěn dìng yào nòng qīng chǔ 。”
“傻丫头，我何尝不清楚，此行的危险非同小可，但一来，我们没有别的选择，二来，五龙玺的秘密我也绝不可以放过，既有机会，肯定要弄清楚。”
"Master means..."
“ wǔ lóng xǐ de mì mì ……”
“五龙玺的秘密……”
Mo'er recalled it; though the text only had a vague and incomplete description, if it was true...
“ ń 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ yuè ér nǐ kě jì de ， nà běn shàng gǔ diǎn jí zhōng ， guān yú bǎi líng yìn de miáo shù ……”
“嗯。”林轩点了点头：“月儿你可记得，那本上古典籍中，关于百灵印的描述……”
"Now you understand why I took such risks. The potential rewards are worth it."
“ shào yé shì shuō ……”
“少爷是说……”
Lin Xuan smiled: "Alright Mo'er, I've made up my mind on this matter. You don't need to persuade me anymore. Get some rest; tomorrow we'll go together into that den of tigers and dragons."
"What?"
Lin Xuan was originally just curious and casually asked. However, the response from the other party was more than unexpected, even his composure couldn't help but turn pale.
This change in expression naturally fell into the eyes of the two Spirit Clan members.
"Is something wrong? Could this Five Dragon Seal have any connection with you?" The surprised voice of the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden entered his ears. Even though she guessed it, she still found it hard to believe.
"I jest, how could I possibly have seen the Five Dragon Seal? I've only heard some legends about this treasure," Lin Xuan's dry laugh echoed in her ears, and his expression was flawless now.
"Legends related to this?"
"Yes, when the Five Dragons appeared, blood flowed like rivers. Innumerable years ago, this treasure caused countless bloodshed in the Spirit Realm. Later on, no one knew where it disappeared," Lin Xuan said dryly.
He had already reached the Transcendence stage as a cultivator and naturally came into contact with many ancient secrets. Besides clues related to Mo'er, the Blue Star Sea and the Five Dragon Seal were also his focus of inquiry.
Hard work pays off; indeed, Lin Xuan managed to gather some useful information, such as the Five Dragon Seal.

"What if we disagree? If we force the issue, the Spirit Clan Saint Maiden might resort to self-destruction; I can't take such risks," Lin Xuan sighed.
"While you're right, agreeing so quickly is still too hasty," Mo'er knew that Lin Xuan was doing this for her. However, she felt something wasn't quite right about his decision. She didn't know the reason but understood that at their current strength, one mustn't ignore any omens in their heart.
"Stupid girl, I understand how dangerous this journey is. But we have no other choices; besides, I can't let go of the secrets of the Five Dragon Seal. If there's an opportunity, we need to find out," Lin Xuan nodded.
"The secrets of the Five Dragon Seal..."
"Yes." Lin Xuan nodded: "Mo'er, do you remember the description of the Hundred Spirit Seal in that ancient text?"
"Master means..."
Mo'er recalled it; though the text only had a vague and incomplete description, if it was true...
"Now you understand why I took such risks. The potential rewards are worth it."
Lin Xuan smiled: "Alright Mo'er, I've made up my mind on this matter. You don't need to persuade me anymore. Get some rest; tomorrow we'll go together into that den of tigers and dragons."
